have such cosy aud pleasant a room.
The building itself is Of irregular shape, in

Of 1888 feet.
As regards tine main building, however, we
are not surprised to hear that Mr. Furniss
the artnIeUt, mhU visited The station last
month said that it was the best built and
handsomest Of all the passenger stations of
the 3. &. Railway.
Those who visit it will have good reason
not to disagree with this flattering compli-
ment paid the contractor, Mr.. Chandler.
1t is Just to those who took out the sub
tracts from the builder to mention them in
connection with the erection Of this editice.
a. S. Reed furnished and laid the stone and
brick; Lindley G. Kent the lumber; Daniel
James, ,r. the hardware; G. W. McCaulley

Bryan did the painting and glazing. Phi
lemma Chandler, as has been stated was
contractor aud builder, aud Frank Furniss,

The Panama Canal.

AT the present moment the project of the
Panama Canal seems TO be destined as the
most gigantic engineering failure of record
ed history.
Indeed to state that it is the most gigsn-
tic failure known does in no measure picture
its overwhelming enormlty Of failure. For
in the place no engineering feat Of ancient
or modern times is comparable to it in the
mighty effort OF its scope. The great wall
Of China was feasible, all needed heing and
time labor. Xerxcs cutting through the
neck of land that joins mount Athos to the
mainland was something ambitious for his
time but in relation to De Lesseps present
work so much chid's play, The building Of
the pyramids offered no physical problem
None of the worlds engineering essays that
can be called to mind at this m 1ment offer
any comparison to the wild essay of the
great French engineer who proposes to carve
through the back bone of the Cordilleras, the
main ve' tebra Of the western continent.
An idea Of the futility and helplessness Of
human effort may gathered from the recent
incident of the Chagres torrent bursting
thorough its temporary confines and in one
fell moment anulhi.ating the expensive and
tedious efforts of months of arduous toll.
When that mighty stream broke it's bounds
demonstration was given of what might
be expected to recur at any future moment.
1t is somewhat depressing to admirers and
believers in the brilliant Frepchman, but
though We in this country are institution
al believers in the powers of man, and what
he can accomplish by grit and stick-to-ative-
ness yet science tell. US that we must some-
times stop and consider, that all things are
not possible.

Better History.

| Writers have said that nations history
may be dug out its proverbs, others say that
you may find it in its ballads.
Contrasted with compendious, elaborated,
tedious aid one must most candidly admit
tresome historical works of recent years
such as Blaine's Twenty years of Congress,
the immense volumes by Grant and Logan
and other equally long drawn out tones, it is
delightful to come across such works as
Ben. Perley Poore's "reminiscences.
One or two Of his anecdotes of Washing
ton life clothed as they are with the strong
est cIrcumstantiality and authenticity teach
more of actual valuable United States his
tory than scores of pages of the tedious vol
umes referred to.
The writer happened to glance inside
Poore's recent work and caught the anec-
dote where is described the review Of Sher-
mans army that "marched from Atlanta to
the Sea-" The kissing General, after his
long procession had passed the isviewing
stand on Pennsylvania avenue where Presi-
dent johnson, the Cabinet, and diplomatic
corps were stationed, stepped up into the
stand receiving the congratulations and
handsbakings of everyone, but on Secretary
Stanton's coming forward with outstretched
hand turned straight around sayingI do not
shake hands with clerks ?" The affront was
tremendous. What tale it tells What
revelation of the three years contest between
the military bureau, the secretarat and the
generals on the field And General Sher-
man doing this We all thought that Gen
eral Mcclellan was the chief sufferer by
Stanton's interference. We knew that others
had suffered including General Grant and
even the commander-in-ch the president
himself (Lincoln.) May not this public re-
buke from one of his own party been part of
that cause which ultimately resulted in the
unfortunate secretary's sad end
This simple act of Shermans awakens a
medusa's arms Of ramifying and far extend
ing investigation, the nucleus from which
the whole administration and war policy of
the great rebellion might be originated.
Poore's "reminiscences are full of such
points. And it is these brilliant graphic
anecdotes that make and keep and teach
history; not the lumberous, verbose and re-
pellcntly heavy volumes such as that of
James G. Blaine. Additionally Poore's, or
the anecdotal style of history, is the truer,
being the relation, as rule, of what what
certain men actually said, not told as in the
books referred to from the glasses Of another
man.

"Grace" Excursion.

Thursday, June 10Th, has been named for
the "Grace" excursion to Cape May. The
steamer Republic, it will be remembered,
was introduced to the billowy deep, as it
were, by the Sunday school of Grace church,
and right well has the Republic maintained
the flattering record she made On her inia-
tory trip to Cape May.
"Grace" excursions have become one of
.he institutions of this city and they are
anticipated as regularly as the seasons, by
very large Lumber of our most excellent
citizens.
The committee of arrangements consists
of Henry c. Downward, Frank w. Heisler,
Walter l.. Butler, John W. Diefendorf, G.
NJ. D. Cam, William, II, Curry, William L.
Todd, William G. Farra, William H, Billany,

..Rehind the Rlue Rldge. ;,

Messrs. j. B. Lippincott Company take
pleasure in announcing that they expect to
issue a new novel, entitled "Behind the
Blue Ridge, from the pen of Miss Frances
Courtenay Baylor, whose former story,
"On Both Sides" is attracting such general
and favorable attention. both here and in
England. ...
Unlike hcrlprevious work, the plot of the
new story is located entirely in this country,
and gives faithful picture of life in the
mountain regions of Virginia, with which
Miss Baylor, from long residence, is per-
fectly familiar. The work is exceedingly
bright and CLEVER sparkling with wit and
aboundiug in those charming descriptions of
life and natural scenery which distinguish
the writings Of this brilliant authoress.
The publishers are confident that the
forthcoming volume will maintain the pop
ularity already achieved, and take rank
with Charles Egbert Craddock's In the
Tennessee Mountains" and other novels
descriptive Of Southern life that have proved
such general favorites Of late yeats.

The New Policy Law.

According to police reports the first appre-
hension under the new policy law has been
made. The much -derided authors of that
law come in now for their first round of con-
graduation, in which agreeable symposium
all lovers of law and order will take part.
Meanwhile it is probable that those who
"snap their fingers" with taunts at the new
legislation will be likely to hesitate sit down
and consider before they put themselves in
the plight of Joseph McAuley who is out
under 81 900 bail to appear at the September
Court Credit is due Samuel Wickersham
for his public splritedness in coming for
ward and testifyiug to what he knew in re-
gard to the case. But for his instrumental
ity the long-looked for opportunity for the
vindication of law would not have been af-
fOrded,

The estrangement existing between the

feel quite content to let the squabble go on.
Without any disparagement of the two
active contestants; it goes without saying
that L. c. Vandegrift, Esq, has the entire
confidence of the citizens of Wilmington
